what is the republican view of public education? if i'mrong in my assessment, correct me. >> i like charter schools but foofha sls they have created some opportunities in the classroom. but i think this business about bashing teachers unions is insane. the people who say that they are innotors of education go in and trash the teachers, i don't know of anybody who has run a company successfully tt thing they do when they get there. i don't think the republicans give a damn about much except themselves. i'd like to know if mitt romney ever attended a public school. >> mayor, would cuts in education spending affect your city? and i raise the question this way. you have some poor neighborhoods, every major metropolitan city in this cotry has some poor neighborhos, how should we fund those schl districts? e tndou where schools are having challenges and the federal government is playing a part under president obama. but let's be clear on why mitt romney is taking the position he's taking. becaushe wants to provide his friends a $5 trillio
